This history is based primarily on declassified documents from the Kennedy White House (the National Security Files and the President’s Office Files) which are housed in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Dorchester, Massachusetts. It is also drawn from the Adlai E. Stevenson Papers at Princeton University, the Chester Bowles Papers at Yale University, the G. Mennen Williams Papers at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and from the collection of transcribed telephone conversations between the President and senior officials in his administration that is not yet in the public domain.
